Tiger Mosquito problems? - Page 2

Yes joolz55 it's horrible. I have been bitten so badly (with allergy) also last year in december in the north of Spain. And also in Belgium I had a hand twice as big. On monday I will see a doctor for some prescription meds so that it doesn't get so bad anymore. I'm totally against pills, but I have no choice.

There are other products on the market that are DEET free if you don't like or can't use DEET.

They have a different active ingredient.

Picaridin based products such as this http://moskitoguard.co.uk/

Saltidin based products such as this

None of them delivers to Spain :-/

Oh right. So it’s a case of bringing it from the U.K.?

Yes I guess so for you :-) I won't be back in Belgium till end march

I have just returned from Camposol and was bitten to hell, the same as when I visited northern Italy a couple of months ago.  I don't think anyone is to blame (ie council) it is just a world epidemic.  I haven't suffered any long term illness, they dissipated as soon as I returned to the UK (I think it might have been due to my blood cooling down).  I Googled mosquito's and this 'expert' who studied the little creatures recommended wearing closely woven fabric (sports gear - unhelpful in the heat I think) or moving the airflow as they can't fly if there is a wind (ie putting on the ceiling fans).  Nothing I can think of, will stop me returning to my wonderful Camposol.

I have experienced they bite even through clothing ! A fan surely helps but you can't go for a walk with a fan :-) I was told that september and october are the worst months. When we were here from march till end june we didn't have problems with mosquitos. I don't spray anything anymore to prevent the bites because it doesn't work for me. I now use a cream directly after the bite and it prevents from getting thick red, itching bumps. It's "Alergical crema". It really works !

Yep they bite through clothing.

Had one the other evening bite me through my tee shirt..........great big Tiger Mosquito it was.....last person that one ever bit cos I flattened it !!!

HI,

I wonder if anybody can suggest if or where I can contact a government/or private entity/company  that can help eradicate the mosquitoes on my property, Sector C , compared to last summer 2019 there have been more ferocious and more of them.

Can anybody suggest why ( wet spring ? ) and who can help, please. 

Thanks for your time
